"Over the last fifteen years, as a result of changing demographics and other global trends, the fields of Latin American and Latinx art have grown into two of the most exciting areas of scholarship, curatorial practice, and collecting today. This surge of activity and what it means in terms of influence demands, now more than ever, a critical journal, such as Latin American and Latinx Visual Culture, capable of articulating these newly consolidated fields of knowledge and the heterogeneous groups they represent. At a time of great political urgency in the Americas as a whole, only this type of transdisciplinary and transcultural journal can delve into the complexities of these ascendant constituencies."

—Mari Carmen Ramirez, Wortham Curator of Latin American Art and Director, International Center for the Arts of the Americas, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
